H. T. Babb D. A. Nauman M. 3. Whitaker C. A. Price W. Williams - Vice President, SCPSA The staff identified tne folicwing concerns to the acclicant:

(1) The SCEIG Corporate Nuclear Engineering 3rcuo should be relccated under the Vice President & Group Executive for Nuclear Operatiens as a secarate line function or combined with the Licensing line function.

(2) An SCEIG cor; orate nuclear training function snculd be established under the Vice ? resident i Group Execative for Nuclear C;erations.

(3) An SCElG corpcrate nuclear maintenance function snculd be established under the Vice President & Group Executive for Nuclear Operaticns.

(4) There is no SCE3G corporate involvement in the plant training program.

(5) The current and projected size of the SCElG engineering organi:atien will likely result in too much reliance on outside assistance.

(5) There is insufficient hands-en operating experience in the SCElG l

l organization.

t (7) The lines of ccmmunicaticn in the SCE3G Ccrporate organi:atien are too informal.

(3) There accears to be no formal review of plant operating procedures in the SCElG cor; crate crgani:ation.

(9) The on-site Engineering Evaluation Group snculd be ccerating new.

(10) The off-site Review Group should be operating new.

l (11) The SCEIG management should take immediate steps to assure that all levels of ne clant management understand and are committed to making the Shift Superviscr/ Shift Technical Advisor interface function procerly. There acpears to be a significant potential for a conflict based en tne interviews we conducted.

l l

t i

Ul?- 2 3 gcgg (12) There appaars to be a lack of administrative ;rceecures to accress interfaces between the plant and the SCElG cor; crate office.

oint by point ccccarison of its organi:atien with the latest craft of the staff document entitled, " Criteria for 'Jtility Management and Technical Competence".
